What is Kakuro?

Kakuro puzzles resemble crosswords which use numbers instead of words. The aim of the game is to fill all the blank squares in the grid with only the numbers 1-9 so that the numbers you enter add up to the corresponding clues. When the grid is filled, the puzzle is complete.

Kakuro is easier than it looks and doesn't really involve a lot of maths, it's more about logical deduction and reasoning. It's a lot of fun too - if you like Sudoku then you'll probably like Kakuro too!
